Product Overview
Amphenol Miniature Cylindrical Connectors, specifically the PT, SP, and MS/PT Series (MIL-DTL-26482, Series 1), offer a compact solution with twice the number of contacts in half the size of standard connectors. These connectors are designed for general duty and environmental applications, suitable for industrial and military markets including instrumentation, monitoring equipment, machine tool automation, communications, geophysical, industrial controls, robotics, oil and petrochemical industries, rail/mass transit, and military/aerospace. Key features include environmental sealing achieved through grommet and clamp design, an operating temperature range of 55C to +125C, and operating voltage up to 1000 VAC (RMS) at sea level. Contacts are machined from gold-plated copper alloy for corrosion resistance and indefinite shelf life. Resilient inserts provide high dielectric strength and a moisture barrier. Available options include various shell finishes, back-end accessories, hermetic seals, and printed circuit board contacts.
